    Depth finder

    I have taken them off before and you unscrew the nut, pull the bolt out and it slides off, a little to easy. I'm thinking there is a lock washer on the inside or wrong side of the bracket and now it has worked its way into both side id the bracket?

    Plywood cover for open bow

    to be honest, I have forgot to put the plug back in my little fishing boat. I noticed when my feet were wet and I put the plug back in.... In a bigger boat you might not notice and the plug goes in from the wet side of the boat... what this has to do with a bow cover has escaped me. I think a...

    1st Boat Recommendation - Ontario

    There are fish and ski. You can get just about any configuration your bank account will tolerate. The best time to purchase here in Ontario is about a month and a half back. Right now all the boats are winterized but if your buying new you would be ok... so there, I bet I told you nothing you...

    Do not pump water - Mercury outboard motor

    FYI, impellers are cheep. You can get a kit with seals and gaskets included. Its a DIY job in your driveway and should be done every 5 years or so. There are lots of youtube videos on it . The hole you speak of is called a tale as it tells you if the pump is working or not, in your case it's a...

    Pontoon in the snow

    I am closing up my place this weekend... The boat was a few weeks back and has been out of the water for longer. Our lake will drop the water level by 6 feet at the end of the summer.

    Old girl for sale. Need advice

    I can't give you a price but very cool boat. Would love to have that at my dock, lol. I would say good luck but you won't need it as it will go fast. I bet you get lots of interest. This is the wrong time of year or at least in my area it is.

    grease zerks on a new alpha one gen2

    This is not a question but more of a head scratcher. I was looking for the grease nipples or zerks on a new alpha one gen2. For the life of me I could not find them so I gave up and called the dealer... Mercruiser has removed all but one and that one is not accessible unless you take the lower...

    zinc anode replacement

    I am replacing the zinc anodes on my outdrive. My question is do the zinc anode have to be on bare metal? I painted the out drive or part of it last winter and I notices one of the anode had paint on it and where it attaches to the drive. I'm thinking maybe I should remove the paint or does it...

    Not sure if this goes here, does iboats ship to Canada during the covid virus

    I'm trying to order some anodes for my alpha1. It does not look like Iboats ship to Canada. I'm wondering if this is due to the covid virus and borders being closed? I thought they were still open for commerce? It's completely understandable if they don't.

    Sharp boat for sure. I'll be waiting to see what the numbers are. Have you checked out a jack plate and what is the max HP rating for that boat? FYI, I can do 54 on the GPS. best pic I can do... boat is away for the winter...

    Stingray 190ls to lx conversation

    With just me in the boat I can hit 54 on the GPS, love it, my prop is an SS 24 inch prop. I use the swim platform more than the sun deck but the deck is nice and I do like the layout. Two captains chairs and a bench seat for the back, I can't see that as a pile of cash but these guys likely know...

    old anodes

    Can the anodes off your drive be recycled or reused or do you just toss them?

    clear coat on I/O

    Last year I painted my outdrive with black tremclad, lol. Before you beat me up I have learnt the hard way tremclad on the lower unit does not work and I am redoing it this winter, lesson learnt. I have mercury paint this time but I'm wondering if I should clear coat it after painting?

    alpha one out drive missing seal

    Last year I took my alpha one out drive off to check the water impeller and fix a broken sag. I put the drive back on but noticed gear lube leaking from the prop. I must have missed a seal or crushed one so I took the drive off to inspect it and think I found my problem. I believe there is a...
